This article presents the surgical procedure and management considerations of posterior quadrant disconnection (PQD) for the treatment of intractable unilateral temporo-parieto-occipital epilepsy. PQD is a less invasive surgical option for selected cases, offering potential benefits over typical hemispherotomy and hemispherectomy.
Background Posterior quadrant disconnection (PQD) is intended to interrupt the propagation of intractable unilateral temporo-parieto-occipital epilepsy. Method An enhanced operative video presents the illustrative case of a total PQD indicated for a 15-year-old boy with Sturge-Weber syndrome suffering from seizure recurrence after a partial PQD. We describe the surgical procedure with emphasis on relevant anatomy and multimodal intraoperative guidance in three steps: (i) parieto-occipital disconnection, (ii) posterior callosotomy, and (iii) temporal disconnection/resection. Pearls and pitfalls of surgical management are discussed. Conclusion PQD is a less invasive surgical option to typical hemispherotomy and hemispherectomy for selected indications of posterior multilobar epilepsy.
